The Highly Valuable Properties of Plasterboard
Plasterboard is a remarkable insulation material used in both construction and refurbishments projects as non-bearing internal partition walls and linings or as replacements to damaged and uneven existing wall surfaces. Its versatility in various home and commercial applications is due to its various types.
Take a look at the multiple types of plasterboard:
• Wall board
This plasterboard is suitable for applications where walls need to have normal sound levels, structural and fire properties. To provide walls with greater fire and sound level insulation, wall board can be fixed at double thickness.
• Vapour Barrier
This type of plasterboard has a thin metallic strip on the reverse of the board, which stops warm vapour from passing through the board. Such phenomenon causes condensation which does not only spoil paintwork and flake plasterwork but also fosters growth of unhealthy black moulds.
• Sound Insulation
It is highly useful on thin walls and ceilings because of its high density core which provide good level of sound insulation. It can also prevent the passage of sound vibrations when partnered with insulation materials mainly composed of mineral wool such as Rockwool Insulation Acoustic Slab.
• Fire Resistant board
A highly effective passive fire protection material, fire resistant board has non-combustible core which if exposed to fire, releases chemically bound water to slow down spread of fire.
• Water Resistant Board
Made with water repellant additives, water resistant plasterboard is excellent to use in high humidity areas such as bathroom, laundries, toilets and cleaning rooms.
• Impact Resistant Plasterboard
Made from bonded fibreglass reinforced mesh which provide its unyielding toughness, this type of plasterboard offers better protection against everyday knocks in high traffic areas such as stairwells and children’s play areas.
For its versatility, plasterboard is the most popular choice of homeowners and builders in building and refurbishments projects.
